Celebrating World Ranger Day

The Hodgman Liberal Government recognises the hard-working people working in Tasmania's national parks as part of World Ranger Day today.

The annual celebration highlights the work of rangers to protect the world's natural and cultural treasures and commemorates rangers killed or injured in the line of duty.

Tasmania's tourism industry is booming thanks in no small part to our stunning natural areas, and World Ranger Day allows us to reflect both on what is involved in managing the State's reserves and also give thanks to our Parks staff for maintaining our parks and reserves.

World Ranger Day is promoted by the 63 member associations of the International Ranger Federation and its partner, the Thin Green Line Foundation. Donations to the Thin Green Line Foundation can be made at www.thingreenline.org.au
